admonishers
Those who rebuke
Admonishers are people who admonish—who warn, caution, or mildly rebuke others.
The word carries a tone of earnest correction rather than harsh punishment: The admonishers in the congregation urged the young couple to reconsider.
Parents, teachers, and religious figures often fill this role.
